RENA CHATFIELD BURIED IN EAGLE THURSDAY.
Funeral services were conducted January 7 for Mrs. Ray CHATFIELD at the Eagle Methodist Church by Reverend Delbert PAULSON, and burial was in the Mayer family plot there.
Rena Ellen MAYER was born to William and Cora MAYER in Cherokee County, Kansas, on May 25,1892. She came to Eagle, with her family, prominent early day ranch people, in 1901, and attended grade school in Eagle and high school in Gypsum. She attended college in Fort Collins and in Denver and in 1912 was married to Ray E. CHATFIELD of Gypsum.
One son, Wayne now residing in Wellesley, Mass., was born to this union.

Mrs. CHATFIELD was an active member of the Methodist Church both in Eagle and in Gypsum. She was a charter member of the Eagle Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, and of the Brush Creek Home Demonstration club, in which she was an active worker, until her failing health kept her from participating.
